Employees can defer up to $15,000, with the hospital matching 100 percent of employee contributions up to the first 4 percent of wages deferred.

Life Insurance
After completion of the 90-day probationary period, full-time hourly and salaried employees are provided coverage equal to one (1) times their annual base salary in term life insurance. Employees holding executive positions are provided coverage equal to two (2) times their annual base salary in term life insurance.

Supplemental Life Insurance
Employees may choose additional coverage amounts of $25,000, $50,000, and $100,000 at low group rates, and apply for an additional $20,000 term life insurance for his or her spouse and $10,000 term life insurance for each child.

Short and Long-term Disability
Short-term disability pays 50% of weekly earnings up to $2,500 per week. There is a seven day elimination period for illness or injury. The long-term disability plan pays 60% of monthly earnings up to a maximum benefit of $9,000 per month.
